The Cape Cobra (Naja nivea) is a venomous snake native to southern Africa, particularly found in South Africa, Namibia, and Botswana. It is known for its distinctive yellow to brown coloration and can grow up to 2.5 meters in length. The Cape Cobra is highly adaptable, inhabiting various environments, including savannas, deserts, and urban areas. This snake is famous for its potent neurotoxic venom, which can cause paralysis and respiratory failure in its prey. The Cape Cobra primarily feeds on small mammals, birds, and other reptiles. Despite its dangerous reputation, it plays a crucial role in controlling rodent populations in its ecosystem.
